Strawberries are easy perennial plants to grow, either in the garden or in containers.
Strawberry is perfect for your patio, container garden, or hydroponic garden.
Sow the tiny seeds in a seed-starting flat or shallow container filled with fine seed starting mix.
Strawberries can be seeded directly in the garden after the last frost. But in other season, the seeds of the strawberry plant have a natural dormancy that must be broken to encourage sprouting, which is achieved through a process called cold stratification.
Growing strawberries from seed to harvest is a rewarding process. Germination can be slow and sporadic, often taking anywhere from two to six weeks.
